Today’s Travel: 3+02 time 159 miles 24 gal used 6.6 mpg 52.2 avg speed.
The Big Oak campground hosts reserved a long, big rig pull through spot for us since yesterday & we do appreciate that; easy in-easy out. After a quick lunch snack, we drive our Suzuki to Costco, about (7) miles & casually peruse their relatively new store with all the latest Christmas holiday gifts & displays & sample snacks. By the time we got back on the road, rush hour was not rushing anymore. Sightseeing back to our campground @ slow speed was not what we expected.
We watch the usual: ABC news, Jeopardy, & O’Reilly Factor….before, during & after the dinner & dishes are finished.
Dinner: leftover church made chicken noodle soup from Nicktown with oyster crackers & whole grain bread.
Kathy calls Katrina while she is shopping @ REI in Denver; they talk about the shoes she might purchase and her upcoming snowshoe weekend.
We finish watching: “The Red Shoes” with Emeric Pressburger, Anton Walbrook, Marius Gooring, Moira Shearer, Robert Helpmann, etc. A superb, stylized fairy tale. Young ballerina is torn between (2) creative, possessive men, one a struggling composer, the other an autocratic dance impresario. Landmark film for its integration of dance in storytelling & a perennial favorite of balletomanes. 1948. The longer we watched, the more fascinating the story became.
Lights out: 12:31am
